How did we all know that TMJ4/Journal Broadcasting would use this stage to tell John Q. that they think that TWC is the big bad wolf that's keeping them from seeing their beloved Packers? Doesn't matter. It's preseason anyway. Don't give in TWC!! Nobody cares about TMJ4. It's not 1978 anymore.

Yes,because by allowing Telemundo to show the game it's obvious they are more concerned about the PR battle than TW.Most TW customers will live w/o TMJ and won't change from TW for one station.Especially if they have the Internet,phone,cable bundle.

I was operating under the assumption that tmj was asking for 55 cents per customer per day. It's 55 cents per customer per month. For what I pay TWC this should not be happening over 50 cents. I'm looking for a way out now.

I LOVE watching Packer games, I look forward to them like you wouldn't believe! There's NOTHING LIKE PACKER FANS!!! If ANYONE has a brain at TWC, they better be putting it to use- It's time to deal in FAIRNESS, TWC. Your reputation is crap.

Funny how almost every post you've made in the history of these comment forums relates to news about journal broadcast company, enhancements to the jsonline website, journal broadcast earnings releases and now the journal broadcast/time warner dispute. Cleary a journal broadcast employee here trying to discredit time warner cable (who shouldn't have to pay a penny to rebroadcast free content).

Did you ever stop to think that producing and broadcasting is very expensive. I'll refer to a JS article where Wexler said that cable saw an opportunity to make a profit by selling the "free" local broadcast signals to areas where reception was poor. Cable operators then bundled other channels with the broadcast signals and generated huge profits-they charged for BOTH (and TWC has been charging their customers for the free, over the air tv stations since cable began . WTMJ is just asking for a small part of what TWC receives) TWC has exceeded the CPI Index on rate increases by 200% to 400% consistently over the years, and it just raised rates on the cable boxes again, just 'because it can'. It's time for TWC to be FAIR, that's what 's needed to resolve this.
